Hi to all, at work I'm doing some stuff related to the User-Agent Header in HTTP Queries, for statistical purposes (on the server) and for other reasons (the server could see what to do depending on the type of client that generates the query), and it seems that currently we don't have a default for this in Pivot ... So, if this is right, what do you think on add something like this as header line in Pivot HTTP query:
User-Agent: Apache-Pivot/1.5 and verify if add also a (separated with one or more space) Java Runtime 1.6.0_18 (if available, depending on the restrictions of the Security Manager), and maybe also if 32 bit or 64 bit ... all data that could be useful on server-side. Ah important, also the O.S. of the client could be useful too. Or there could exist a method to set this header field, but if not specified one of the previous values could be used. Comments ? This should be a small fix, so maybe I could do it for the 1.5 release ... Note: probably also other headers could be useful to set, like: Accept with the mime type of the current serializer, Accept-Charset with the charset of the current serializer, Accept-Encoding if we are able to handle compressed answers ... anyone has tried with an xml or json gzipped by the server ? Accept-Language with the user locale (if not english) and en as last, Referer with the current URL in case of Applets, etc ... but this could require additional discussions, and probably not for the 1.5 release. Or could be set when desired with some utility methods. Some references: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_headers http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html Bye, Sandro
